Department InformationSTS's departmental home:• STS is interdisciplinary, so it could be administered by any of a number

of different departments on campus.• The departmental home for STS is Philosophy because the Director of

STS is in the Philosophy Department.

18

STS Major• The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) major is interdisciplinary,

combining knowledge from the natural sciences, technology, the humanities, and the social sciences

• What unifies STS is a focus on questions regarding the impact of science and technology on societies, and the impact of societies on science and technology

• Distinctive elements of the STS major:• A year-long senior research experience (STS Capstone in Fall, STS Senior Project

in Spring) on the broader impacts of an emerging science or technology, and proposal of policy measures to support benefits of technology while reducing its harms

• A minor in a science or technology field• The STS major prepares students who seek jobs that require a broader

perspective on science and technology, and more emphasis on developing skills in writing argument, than is provided by a traditional science or technology majors

19

To Illustrate• Gene editing technology called CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful and relatively

easy to use new tool for modifying plant or animal genes.• Now that we have this powerful tool, what if any limits should government

place on its use? Addressing this question requires not only technical background, but also grounding in ethics, policy, and culture

• Aside of CRISPR/Cas9, recent research projects have been on:• Use of robotic pet therapy for elderly patients• Use of in-vitro meat production to avoid environmental damage due to

factory farming• Use of data algorithms in predictive policing• Use of information about a person’s genetics for tailoring of medical

diagnosis and treatment
